Although it might not seem like it, EA's canceled would also take a cue from the Uncharted games and be a linear action-adventure title.
Two years later, EA decided to shut down Visceral Games, effectively ending the Star Wars title the studio was working on.

Until recently, no one knew just how much development had been put into that game. However, in an interview with US Gamer, Hennig spoke about the work she did with Visceral on the title, and mentioned that it was much further along in the process than anyone had previously known:
"I wish people could have seen more of it because it was a lot farther along than people ever got a glimpse of. And it was good, you know? But it just didn't make sense in EA's business plan, ultimately. Things changed over the course of that time I was there. So you know, what can you do?"
This is, obviously, even more disappointing news for fans of Visceral, Hennig and Star Wars. EA continues to face criticism about its handling of the Star Wars franchise. including Rogue One writer Gary Whitta, calling for Disney to take the Star Wars license away from EA.
Unfortunately, that won't happen anytime soon. Disney seems oblivious to from gamers and continues to claim that it has a good relationship with EA when it comes to Star Wars. The closure of Visceral Games, though, was only the beginning of EA ruining Star Wars gaming for many, and the publisher is likely to continue to disappoint players who are also fans of Star Wars.
